Gravitorium 0.3.2
A locally developed product designed to simulate the movement of stars, planets and other bodies under Newtonian gravitation. From the developer ''I wrote Gravitorium for fun, and to explore some ideas I had for science fiction stories: what would happen if a black hole passed through the solar system? What would it be like to live on a planet with two suns?'. With this fun tool you can get a rough idea of planetary and star movements รป however, over longer periods of time, the accuracy of the orbits will decline. Regardless, it is still an interesting tool for exploring various scenarios (you may want to think twice about living on a planet that orbits a binary star). Note that 0.3.2 is a beta release and may still have some bugs.
